PUTRAJAYA: Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail (pic) on Wednesday revealed that a three-month-old baby had been raped, with video footage of the abuse reportedly distributed for sale.

“I was briefed at 12.30am. If you’re being briefed at midnight, it’s definitely a major issue, not a minor one,” he said in his speech at his ministry’s monthly assembly.

“A three-month-old baby was raped, recorded on video, and the video was sold. That’s madness.”

Speaking to reporters later, Saifuddin declined to provide further details, saying such cases could trigger unnecessary public alarm.

“If it’s splashed on the front page, the public reaction becomes something else entirely, even though it may be just a single incident. So I’m not going to give much detail on that,” he said. - FMT
